pie of the POlaris expedition who floated

shielding themselves from the Arctic

and was taken down in 1774 A plain belfry
was erected in its stead, and the cut accom-

of the building a. It looked when the con-
vention of 1857 met.
Times were very different then from what
they are now. The country was only one
fifth of its present size, and of that only
about one-fifth was settled. The Mississippi
river was the Western boundary and the only
seaboard was the Atlantic, the territory on
the Gulf of Mexico as well as that west of the
Mississippi belonging to Spain. Although
hardy pioneers were already pouring into
the valleys Of the Ohio and Tennessee rivers
laying the foundations Of great States, the
Eastern gentry who controlled politics gave
little thought TO the Western expansion of
the country. General Washington himself
seems to have thought very little Of the navi-
CATION ofthe Mississippi, which the Western
pioneers were already clamOrous to have re-
nevsd Of Spanish interference. His idea
was to develop lines of Communication
nom the seacoast to the interior, and
Il was with this In view that he got
up the Potomac Company, to build .
canal along the Potomac river from tide
water ITO the most convenient Western
waters" The States Of Maryland and Vir-
ginia were induced TO give their aid to the
scheme, and Warrington became president Of
the company. This was the beginning Of the
present Chesapeake and Ohio canal, extending
from Georgstown, D. c., to Cumberland. Md.
Both States lost money by the enterprise,
which never reached "the Western waters, :"
and ct the present time il hardly able to pay
current expenses. The undertaking was,
however, . most fortunate circumstance for
the nation, - it brought Virginia and Mary
land into peculiarly close relations, 30 that
while other States were at enmity and New
Jersey, New York and Connecticut were levy
ing vindictive imposts and duties on one an
others trade, the two States, parted by the
Potomac, started movement that led to the
establishment of the nation.
In 1885 commissioners from Maryland
and Virginia met at Alexandria to frame q
compact between the two States in regard to
the navigation ofthe Chesapeake and Puto-
mac, the regulation of port dues tonnage
charges, &c. Washington, who was at that
time pushing his scheme of the Potomac
canal, felt Of course strong interest in the
